From Dreams to Living Things III (2025 Compilation)

Posted by valleyofsteel on

And just like that — we’ve reached the halfway point of 2025. When did that happen?
Where did the time go?

For me, I know I’ve been completely draining all of my mental energy with work crap every day, and at the end of it I can barely manage to drag myself downstairs to just zone out to some mindless nonsense on the tv until it’s time to go to bed, rinse and repeat the next day and every day ad nauseam.

The world is such a fucked-up place these days, and it seems it’s only getting worse, and like most of you I have no idea what the hell to do about it. But at the very least we can try to cope, and if listening to music helps in any way, then I will try to do my small part in getting the word out there.

One quick housekeeping note, and while we’re on the subject of how fucked-up the world is: as I was finally putting 2024 to rest I came across one more charity benefit compilation from last year that I had forgotten to share here at the time…
